§ Mr. Haywardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will identify the average annual exchange rates, against the dollar, being assumed by Government financial agencies for the financial years 1984–85 and 1985–86.
§ Mr. Ian StewartIt is not Government practice to provide detailed information about their exchange rate assumptions. The fiscal projections contained in the Financial Statement and Budget Report, 1984–85 (HC. 304) are consistent with the assumption that there will be no major change in the effective exchange rate from year to year.
